On topic, incredibly excellent news! Means that the progression will likely work the way it was supposed to be, and not that the progression walls will be the greatest obstacles to overcome in the game.

Best news I've read all day.....I personally avoid microtransactions like the plague, I still enjoy the occasional grind in Ryse for example and I refuse to pay 1 penny for anything that can be earned, still I think the industry would be much much better off without microtransactions.

It just goes to show how bitter some people are. Doesn't matter what console you're a fanboy of, every gamer who has any sort of respect for the integrity and future of gaming should be united against microtransactions.

Nykamari, its instinct, people will not even realise they hit disagree, just the moment the see the name it happens. Get it a lot myself. I am sure there is many who do not even read the article, or the comments, just the headline and they hit agree/disagree based on your history, or which side of the fence you are on. I own both new gen, nearly everything that came before it, but refuse to bash up on one because its the 'popular' thing to do. Sure I hate the fact that MS messed up the great things they started with 360, but whos to say they will not turn it around? Last thing I want is a dominant console, stagnates the industry. Things were great because 360 forced Sony to not assume we would buy anything they threw at us, even if a second job was needed. PS4 is what it is only because MS forced them, and now hopefully history keeps repeating, as this will be the best for all of us. Hope Nintendo can swing things too, but they need unique 3rd party, I cannot justify buying it now for the customary Mario/Zelda game anymore........ Game on....

This sounds like good news but I wonder if they'll keep to their word. Is this guy able to make this claim with certainty because it's definitely a nice thing to hear.

Does this mean that only meaningful DLC will be released like maps and story expansions or that there won't be any DLC at all? I doubt they'd release a game with no plans for DLC whatsoever but this reply all depends on what they constitute as a "mircotransaction". At least we know those $1-50 cents guns, characters skins and small crap like that won't be there.

This might be one of the few games I will happily pay for DLC. The only game I have ever grabbed a DLC pack for is Battlefield 4, and I have no regrets. If Titanfall is more of what the Alpha brought, consider me happy for extra content.

I have premium also, and I'm loving it, particularly Second Assault. Game has been perfectly playable to me. Haven't crashed in at least a month, and those crashes were few and far between. Fantastic game!

I can get excited for season pass if done right. When a game like Borderlands comes out with a season pass, I'm on that. I have no problem putting a little up front money in a publisher's hands if it saves me down the line. Borderlands 2 season pass delivered a lot of bang for the buck. Microtransactions? I just can't get excited when they're introduced in a full priced game. The best I can hope for is that they won't cheapen my experience. They definitely don't add to it. If Titanfall comes in with a reasonably priced pass and you like the content that comes with it, I say go for it.
